Vegas sees Chargers among top-10 teams to win Super Bowl

The Supreme Court struck down a federal law prohibiting sports betting Monday, allowing states to decide whether they want to permit it. This will have enormous ramifications for the NFL and other major professional sports leagues. The Chargers have the seventh-best chance in the league to win Super Bowl LIII at 14/1, according to Westgate Las Vegas.

While their season ended on a disappointing note by just missing the playoffs, it is clear that Los Angeles is trending in the right direction for the first time in a long time, especially after their offseason acquisitions.

Many of L.A.’s seven losses came in final-second losses and kicking woes. After going through an abnormal amount of kickers in 2017, they finally signed former Buccaneers Roberto Aguayo and Eagles Caleb Sturgis to help these ongoing issues.

The Chargers have all of their defensive starters locked in with the addition of safety Derwin James, edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu, defensive tackle Justin Jones, and linebacker Kyzir White. The Bolts will also get several playmakers back on offense, including quarterback Philip Rivers, wide receiver Keenan Allen, running back Melvin Gordon, a second-round selection from 2017, offensive guard Forrest Lamp, tight end Hunter Henry and the newest member in the trenches, center Mike Pouncey.
